Porto Rico Left to ConreHH fc
Washington, Aug. 2$. It Is be
lieved In high quarters here that
many of the Important questions
relating to Porto Rico will be left
for Congress to deal with Instead of
being settled by executive action.
One of these relates to the free
exchange of commodities between
Porto Rico and this country. This
It Is said, was considered during the
recent conference at Lake Cham
plain, but the Impression Is growing
among those usually well Informed
that favorable consideration was
not riven to the proposed plan.
N
Another plan for relieving Porto C
Rico was to permit her tobacco to g
enter Cuba free of duty. This R
& would give an easy market to A
& Porto Rlcan tobacco but the
point fcj
Id de-
k has been raised that It would
C press Cuban tobacco. As between
g serving the Porto Rlcans and Injur
S Ing the Cubans In this respect much
N
N perplexity nas arisen.

FLOATING IN THE HARBOR
A Hundred and Twenty Tins of Opium
Captured This Morning.
Vigilance of Custom House Officers Good Work
Ml Around Well Grounded Suspicions
Staff From S. S. China.
Two whito .men, ono a resident
of Pearl City and another, a bar
keeper of Honolulu, wero arrested
oarly this morning by Customs
Guards Kealakai and Kekona in
connection with nomo opium fonnd
in the ohannel, near tho light
house. As thoy woro immediate
ly released, their names are not
given.
It was yostorday afternoon that
tho Custom Houbo inspectors wero
warned to watch the movomonts of
the two men concerned. There
was aboatd the S. S. China a
quantity of opium supposed to
belong to tuetn. umcers remain
ed aboard the steamer until al
most midnight, Then nil wont
homo but the iuspector in charge
nf tbo night watch, Mr. H.
Drnmmond.
The remaining officer watched
carefully aud camo to the conclu
sion that "something would drop"
so ho Bent out Guard 1 Kealakai and
Keknuri in a boat and told them
to take a position near tbo light
house. Tho guards wont out,
armod to the teeth just as the
China hauled away from tho Paci
fic Mail wharf. Their instructions
wero to overhaul auy boat that
panned in or out of tbo ohanuel.
The guards remained at thoir
post until daylight when they
Hpied a Uoat of -hau vooi near lh
second buoy. Tho men hauled
this in and found a piece of tarred
card. Hauling this in they camo
to a piece of half inch rope and
pulled iu 120 feet of it. Then
oarao a cook float and then a bag
painted with tar. They took tho
whole thing into tho boat aud then,
seeing a boat with tho men re
ferred to in it, nrrcoted aud took
thorn to the Custom Houso with
tho opium.
On opening the bag it was found
that thero wore 122 tins of Hong
kong and "RooBtor" brand opium
contained therein. As thore was
no evidence against the mon, they
wore allowed to go freo.
Tho greatest credit is duo the
Custom Houso officers for tho
tho clover oapturo. Port Survoyur
Stratemeyer and all tho District
Inspectors woro on tbo China and
tho Pacifio Mail wharf up until
midnight.
The guards who made tho cap
ture Btate that, as it was daylight
when thoy spied tho float, it was
impossible to "lay low" and watch
tho operations of the men in the
boat. Thoy had already seen thorn
Tho work of litst night certainly
spotks woll for the vigilance of
tho (Justom riouso officers and,
although no ouo was onught "red
handed," even tbo enpturo of
tho opium was a fine pieco of
work.

til tho comploto skeleton of a man
was revealed.
Tho skolotou was in perfect
condition aud was fonnd lying
full length on its back, measuring
slightly over six feet.
Many wore of tho opinion that
it was the remains of a Chinaman
I by tho formation of the skull, but

ed that tho bones wero thoso of a
white man.
Thoso who wire present at tho
discovery believed that not over
six months had elapBOd since the

after examination of, and consul
Ution over tho mysterious skele
ton agreed on tho verdict of "ac-
cidontflrdeath." - -
The rorcaius wore packed aud
shipped to Lahaiua for interment.
Notwithstanding tbo "accidental"
verdict, thoro oro many who firmly
believe that thero is a tragedy at
tho bottom of tho affair, aud that
tho deceased becatno a skeleton by
meanB foul aud unknown.
Tho bones woro found about
four feot boneath tho eurfaco, aud
altogothor too far away from a
neighboring graveyard to bo by
any ohanco connected therewith.
